Kanger Subtank, 4 Wraps of 28 gauge Kanthal, Wrapped on 3 mm jig, Showing 1.3 Ohms. Wicked up with Kumo JOC...
Running at 18.5 watts on 50W istick. Built this one last night at about 6:30, worked flawlessly until I went out for lunch today...
If you're a "new vaper", you might be drawing too hard on your particular device. This isn't quite like smoking a cigarette. A longer, gentler draw works best. Drawing or puffing too hard pulls in more e-liquid to the coil than it can vaporize. The excess has nowhere to go, floods the coil, and goes into your drip tip or mouth.
A drastic change in temperature/air pressure can disrupt the negative pressure in a tank. Going from a cool environment (air conditioning) to a hot environment (outdoors), or vice versa, can cause a tank to leak or the coil to flood.
Before flying on a pressurized jet, or traveling up into the mountains, empty your tanks. Drastic changes in elevation can also cause a tank to leak.

With my Subtank Plus, I often (before I leave for work, and before I leave to drive home) use a Q-Tip and twist it down the drip-tip and shaft until you just BARELY touch the coil, pull it up while still twisting, and that will clean it out.
At that point, take another vape on it, and if it is still happening, up the wattage! I'm currently using the OCC 1.2Ohm coils and vaping it at 22.5w with no issues and sometimes go to 24w if I want a warmer vape.
There could also be too much cotton in the RBA... I've yet to get it right after a fresh build. I usually have to re-wick it again. Use less cotton, and don't initially over saturate it.
Hope this helps!

Some juice will always condense out and accumulate in the drip tip over time. If you have a build that pops and crackles a lot, this can also throw a bit of juice up the spout. If the juice is actually flowing up the chimney, then it could be some flooding?
Kangers crack, I've come to have a Pavlovian response to that cracking *lol*
but the spitting I found is usually fixed by changing your wick (after cleaning it all out, tube, tips included)

you probably laid it down or the juice was low (Kanger's dont' like that) and a clean out and coil will fix yah right up!! 
I've had the juice under the drip tip on my subtank mini. As far as juice in your mouth. Is it a lot or just a few drops? A little bit of juice doesn't hurt just enhances flavor, although I rather it not happen. When it did it, I wicked wrong on my rba deck.
It's not a lot, just a few drops, but yeah, i'd rather not taste it that way....
I would think it if it was wicked wrong then it would be doing this from the first time I fired it off, or shortly there after....Shoot, it hit like a champ last night and after I refilled the tank this morning for the drive in....

Yeah, it tips over in the console of my car...but not all the way over on it's side. just like, leans a bit....
I'm going to say that it's due to the wicking in your RBA. It took me a while to figure out exactly how to wick it, once I did I got zero leaks and only a tiny amount under the drip tip. I've yet to build it where zero juice accumulates under the drip tip.
So.....The Saga continues.
Accepting the fact that it wasn't wicked correctly I popped in a brand new Kanger OCC 1.2 Ohm Coil for the ride home yesterday. The first tank was awesome....Just like it should have been....Here I am, going out for lunch again today and i'll give ya one guess what happened....
Wtf? I pulled the coil and still looks fine, a little gunky but it wasn't burnt and the wick was still almost white....I turned it upside down on a napkin and let it drain for a couple of hours and then used a corner of a paper towel to sort of clean out the inside of the coil. It looks fine, just like a coil might after a tank and a half of juice.
Put it back in, worked ok for about 45 minutes, and then....yup.
I don't get it...and am really trying not to light up right now! (luckily I have my trusty eGo One backup on me today)

See Baditude's post above. This sounds like a pressure change issue due to temperature.
See the "Summer flooding" thread in General for more tips and tricks.
You need some "old-school" temperature control. Of your atty, that is - not your coil.

Thanks, I just read that entire thread, but I don't leave my Mod in the car, I take it into the office, an AC'ed office, directly from the AC of my car. Then after a few hours I go out to Vape.
Surely it can't be that by simply walking outside to Vape in 90 degree heat that my juice automatically gets thin and floods my atty can it?
